With everything 'rocking' in the soundtrack so far, one never expected the proceedings to go subtle, even though one would have loved that to happen. She is fine in her part though the situation of the song doesn't allow her to go all out to create yet another 'Kajra Re' or 'It's Rocking'. Neeraj Shridhar does a good job yet again while one expects a 'Kajra Re' from Alisha Chinai every time she comes behind the mike now. In fact one can almost sense a Shaad Ali influence here since it has got something about it that streams from 'Saathiya' to 'Bunty Aur Babli' and now 'Ticket To Hollywood'.Įven though the song's title is English, the song maintains an Indian feel throughout with arrangements to lyrics to the rendition style maintaining a 'desi' flavor. In the meanwhile, what once can enjoy is a tune that comes close to belong to the A.R. A racy track which has the term 'jhoom' coming at just the right places in the background, 'JBJ' would be looked forward to in a packed auditorium boasting of a superior sound system.Ī fun song in the offering, 'Ticket To Hollywood' is a track that would be comprehended most when seen in the film. As for Sunidhi Chauhan, she puts on a husky-n-carefree avtar which makes one look for more of her in the song. There is a distinct Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy touch to this song which is dominated by Shankar Mahadevan in the capacity of a singer while Zubeen follows. Except for the chant of 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' which comes at places, rest of the song boasts of a completely different tune though the basic feel still retains its hardcore North Indian feel.
'JBJ', which stands for 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom', comes next and only helps in taking fun to a different level altogether. Also, there is an additional 'dhol' sound running throughout the 7 minute track that keeps the dance flavor on.
Thankfully, 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' refrains from taking the 'remix' route and just has some zingy nuances added to it to make it appear a little more youthful. A track that has as an out and out Punjabi 'mukhda' and features all the four young protagonists of the film, Abhishek, Bobby, Preeti and Lara, presumably coming together for a stage show. Choreographed on Amitabh Bachchan in his much talked about getup, 'Jhoom' is going to be much talked about in months to come.Īnother version of the song comes towards the end of the album when KK, Sukhvinder Singh, Mahalaxmi Iyer & Shankar Mahadevan get together to croon 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'. While we have been hearing the chants of 'Jhoom Barabar Khoom' and 'Damadam Mast Kalandar' in their sufi versions so far, this could probably be the first time ever that 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' has been given a different mood altogether as the track bases itself on Punjabi rhythm and style. Extremely catchy with an Indian base to it, 'Jhoom' is so foot-tapping that one almost tends to ignore the poetry of the song and concentrates on only three words - 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'. He churns out a delightful 'Jhoom', the title song of the film, which can be proclaimed as a sure fire hit in the very first minute of hearing it. Bachchan, Shankar Mahadevan is here to take care of the songs for you. Move over Sudesh Bhonsle and take some rest Mr. With Gulzar saab adding on the spice, 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' promises to be one mouth watering dish. Meanwhile Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have a hat trick of super successful soundtracks in the form of 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna', 'Don' and 'Salaam E Ishq'. Yash Raj Films is the country's numero uno production house, Amitabh Bachchan sits right at the top, Abhishek Bachchan is hot property and Aditya Chopra's smart product placement strategy has been working more often than not! If 'Saathiya' has a classy feel to most of the soundtrack with Rahman at the helm then 'Bunty Aur Babli' had masses going in ruptures with the tunes by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy playing to the gallery.Įverything that is now associated with his film 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' has only become bigger over the years. First 'Saathiya' and then 'Bunty Aur Babli' more than prove that. Shaad Ali has always got it right, be it with his storytelling or the music of his films.
